must be a central research focus and individuals exploring behavioral
neuroscience in naturalistic contexts are especially encouraged to
apply.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in the
newly formed Center For Behavioral Neuroscience which emphasizes
neurobiological studies of fear, affiliation, reproduction, and
aggression across a consortium of Atlanta area Colleges and
Universities and provides access to six technical cores ranging from
molecular and imaging techniques to behavioral technology. Nonhuman
Primate
resources are available to Psychology Department faculty through the
Yerkes
Regional Primate Research Center of Emory University. The successful
candidate will have a strong commitment to teaching at both the
graduate and undergraduate levels, will establish an independent
research
program, and will obtain extramural grant support. A Ph.D., or
equivalent, is required. Please submit vita, supporting materials, and
at least three letters of recommendation to: Chair, Psychobiology
